4:03 am
alert. 9-year-old chloie leverette, and gage daniel. it's been six days since a fire torched the home with their step-grandparents. initially it was thought that the children and the grandparents died in the flames. but after six days of exhaustive searching inside the rubble, there's only physical evidence of the grandparent, not the children. >> if we just had ashes, you know, or the bodies. but we don't have anything. >> reporter: the amber alert reads, the location of chloie and gage is unknown. authorities have no reason to think the children have left the state. >> we don't have sufficient evidence from fire investigators right now to positively conclude they died in this fire makes us want to make sure that they are not somewhere else. >> reporter: multiple fire experts were called in to try to find some trace of the missing
4:04 am
children's bodies in the ash. but nothing. infrared cameras attached to helicopters have scoured the scene. police say there are no suspects or persons of interest at this time. but the search continues. police have searched the child's mother and other family members. but they maintain no person of interest. at the same time, top-level forensic experts will search the fire scene again with more sophisticated techniques. ron? >> thanks for that report, john. and six teenage girls have been arrested for brutally beating a neighbor and posting video of the attack on facebook. we have to warn you to the video is very disturbing. the city of chester, pennsylvania, say the girls appeared to have attacked the 48-year-old woman just for the fun of it. they're being charged as adults. the victim suffered cuts and bruises but no broken bones. and apple is issuing a rare apology because of glitches in the new maps app for its iphone 5. he is extremely sorry for the frustration caused by the new

4:06 am
>> it's almost true. >> almost true. thank you, ron. >> sells it so well. we're going to turn to politics now. we're just four days away from the first debate between president obama and republican challenger, mitt romney. some are calling these debates a make-or-break moment for romney. it's "your voice, your vote." with just 38 days left to election day. and david kerley joins us from the white house with an inside look at how both sides are prepping. david? >> reporter: good morning, bianna. this is the year that these debates could be critical. so, both candidates are spending a lot of time preparing. heading back to boston for more debate practice, mitt romney would not endorse the view that the debates could be do-or-die for his campaign. >> i don't think anyone would suggest that the debates are not important. i can't tell you how important it will be. it will be a good chance for the president and for me to have a conversation with the american people about our respective views. >> four more years. >> reporter: mr. obama spent a couple of hours practicing yesterday, as well.
4:07 am
and has three days set aside for more practice. it's nicknamed debate camp. and near the end of camp, like now, it's a full-on mock debate. following the time rules, podiums the exact distance apart, and fill-ins for the opposition. preparing joe biden. >> it's only tense when they give you the completely wrong answer. the goal is to make them feel that they're as real as possible. >> reporter: she believes romney has the harder chore. >> the idea that i'm anti-immigrant is repulsive. >> reporter: being aggressive against the president, drawing distinctions between the president, trying not to be nasty. >> i don't think i'm that bad. >> you're likable enough, hillary. >> thank you. >> reporter: and the president who can become impatient, is probably being pushed in practice, as well. >> part of having a tough opponent in your mock is that you get that anger out in the mock. so that the president is relatively calm and collected.
4:08 am
>> reporter: there are reports out of the president's debate practice these getting real push-back from staff to shorten his answers. he has a tendency to get into the professorial answers. a guy that knows a little bit of what it's like to help with debate prep. matthew dowd has prepared candidates from both parties. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> everybody loves a comeback story. how well does mitt romney have to do for us to start writing the mitt romney comeback story? >> he has to do very well. he's in a race that's a five-point or six-point national decline on his part. he's losing in all of the electoral states. he does not want to get in a situation where this goes past him and he can't catch up. he's got to do it on october 3rd. and he has to do well. and i think the race will close. he'll show up and do reasonably well. but he has to do that. >> you have said in your online column that it's more about style than substance for him.
4:09 am
why? >> if you take a look at the history of debates, it's not really about policy specifics. it's not really about facts. people have heard a lot about that. they've seen it. they've read it. it's more about the cues that indicate the personality or how they're going to be or mannerisms. every debate has changed because of somebody's mannerisms or style did badly or did well. that's where changes occur. >> going through the primaries, i believe he debated 20 times. in a lot of the debates, everybody was attacking him because he was the front-runner. does that mean he has a potentially good performance in him coming up on wednesday? >> if you look at the history of the debate, he won or tied every one of the debates. he's got it in him. he's never been faced at this kind of level with this kind of scrutiny, one-on-one. it's much different when you're one on ten and have to worry about 15 minutes of the debate. he has to worry about an hour and a half of this debate in a much different circumstance. he's got it in him. he has the capacity to do really well.
4:10 am
>> how important are the prep sessions? >> they're extremely important. if the people who have done badly didn't pay attention in the prep sessions, didn't get ready, didn't get it down, these prep sessions are key for mitt romney. >> matthew dowd, incredibly important for us to have your perspective this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. tune in tomorrow morning to "this week" with george stephanopoulos. chris christie will be his guest. now, to politics and betrayal. we're hearing more from arnold schwarzenegger speaking publicly about the love child that ended his marriage. and now, we're learning more about extramarital affairs. other extramarital affairs. and abc's reena ninan is on the story this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: his family is questioning why he would make these revelations now about some of the darkest times in their past. >> so, you lied to her? >> you can say that. >> she gave up a television career for you. i mean, wow.
4:11 am
>> reporter: new questions for the former california governor. and new, painful answers. >> i think it was the stupidest thing i've done in the whole relationship. it was terrible. >> reporter: in his latest revelation from "total recall," he writes about the affair he had with the housekeeper of 20 years. he admits it wasn't the only affair he had. >> i inflicted tremendous pain on maria. and unbelievable pain on the kids. >> reporter: the affair with the housekeeper resulted in a son, joseph, now 14 years old. seen here just thursday, walking with his mother in california. born only days after his wife, maria shriver, delivered their youngest son. his wife confronted him about the affair during a marriage counseling session. he admitted it was true. shriver filed for divorce in may 2011. and he says she hasn't read the book. >> i think that maria is, you know, wishing me well, with
4:12 am
everything that i do. >> reporter: the book also reveals how arnold felt about being snubbed in 2003, by then top white house adviser, karl rove, who had little faith he'd make it into office. but he did, landing him a new role, california governor. >> i went from being the terminator to being the governator. >> reporter: and he has two, new films coming out next year. all this might be a way to hit the reset button. letting everyone know -- >> i'll be back. >> reporter: the accounts in the book are being attacked from his republicans. condoleezza rice tells abc news she has no recollection of a conversationed a the white house, where cove said his choice for california was right. the book hits stores october 1st. jurors have reached a verdict in the bizarre murder trial in georgia. it was the case of a flight aden taunt killed by an alleged
4:13 am
stalker in 1995. the suspect was only put on trial this year thanks to new dna evidence. and in a weird twist, he chose to defend himself in court. that turned out to be a bad move for him. abc's steve osunsami has the story. >> reporter: after a 17-year murder mystery and then a bizarre trial with waseem daker, an ex-con, acting as his own attorney and frightening victims on the witness stand -- >> we found him glgt as to count two. >> reporter: jurors moved quickly, closing this cold case in three, short hours. finding daker guilty of strangling karmen smith in 1995, as an act of revenge against her housemate, loretta blatz, who was working with authorities to send him to jail for stalking her. >> a great day for karmen smith and her family. we're thrilled with the outcome of the case. >> reporter: prosecutors called him a monster and an obsessed maniac, who after killing smith, waited all day for her 5-year-old son to come walking home from school, walking
4:14 am
through these sliding glass doors. nicholas smith was stabbed 18 times and survived. he's now 22. and after jurors read the verdict, he and his family hugged and cried. >> she was a beautiful, caring outgoing mom, whose son, nick, was the number one thing in her life. she was taken from us way too soon by a stabbing monster. >> reporter: when he testified, nicholas smith broke down, telling jurors the killer was wearing a mask. so, he couldn't see his face. >> i could kind of see when they ran past the window in the room. but they it was really dark. and they were wearing dark clothes. >> reporter: loretta blatz, the object of his affection, couldn't believe she had to answer questions. >> it's entirely inappropriate. >> it's really inappropriate that you stalked me and harassed me. and i have to sit here and answer your questions. that's hard for me. >> reporter: he faces life in jail at sentencing, scheduled on
4:15 am
